Broken Links **~ON HOLD~**

Broken Links - Chapter 4

<P>Chapter 4  </P>

<P>It was Saturday morning, about 1am, when my alarm went off. The whole house was asleep as I pulled off my pyjamas. Underneath them I had my long sleeved top, purple hooded jumper and my favourite black jeans. I silently jumped off the top bunk and stayed still for 2 seconds. Wait any longer and they will wake up, I hissed to myself. I went over to the window and opened it; luck was with me as Autumn was sleeping round a friend's house for the next week. The cold night air brushed past me quickly and made my spine tingle.</P>

<P>I climbed out the window and onto the flat roof outside. I turned back round and quietly closed the window behind me. This is it, I thought, I need to get the bike to the village hall then it should be a clear run! I climbed over the coal-shed roof, being careful not to wake Owen and Blake, and slid down the other side and grabbed the basketball hoop that was there, thankfully. I caught my breath as I heard someone come down the stairs. I let go of the basketball hoop and fell to the ground with a thud then bolted towards the garage and hid in the shadows. I laughed at myself silently as the memory of reading so many vampire books came flooding into my head. We always used to talk about the different books we'd read over the weekends. CONCENTRATE Brooklyn!! I yelled to myself. I kept an eye out for anyone that may spoil my plan. But 10 minutes in the shadows I realised it was just Owen and Blake sneaking down onto the Xbox. "Stupid boys!" I muttered to myself and gathered all my strength and pushed my dad's motorbike towards the village hall.</P>

<P>"Right ... now it's a good job I have long legs!" I swung my leg over the big bike and kicked off the bike stand when I'd got balanced. "Right key in the ignition and ... thank god dad filled the tank up ..." The bike came alive underneath me, I felt the adrenaline race through my veins as I put my helmet on. I got moving and headed straight for the main road.  </P>

<P>My fear washed away as I sped down the roads towards my destination, I love speed. I always have, I always loved going as fast as I could go. Running, sprinting of course, and horse riding were two of my many hobbies. </P>

<P>I had recently become obsessed with doing something just to keep my mind busy. Even if it was just cleaning the house from top to bottom or coursework that didn't have to be in for months!! </P>

<P>I thought about the lockets Katelyn and I both have. We'd spent days looking for the perfect pair and we always wear them. They were both gold that threw rainbows in the sunlight. I had mine on a slightly thick gold chain that hung round my neck. Katelyn had hers on a delicate gold chain. Inside the lockets were a picture of the two of us together and then a picture of us with the big group of friends we have at school.  </P>

<P>As I swerved around a corner at 40mph I realised I didn't have a clue where this place was!! "God dammit!! Why didn't I get a map beforehand??" I stopped at a lay-by and got my phone out the jacket pocket and dialled the one number I knew wouldn't bail me out!</P>

<P>"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'VE RAN AWAY?!?!" I sighed ... why did I ring Conner again??  </P>

<P>"Conner calm down ... I never said ran away!! I'm going to get Katelyn!"  </P>

<P>"You don't have a clue where she is!!!"  </P>

<P>"I do! I just don't know where it is ... will you please help me?"  </P>

<P>"Ugh Brooklyn! I really hate it when you do this!!"  </P>

<P>"Do what? I'm going to get my best friend before she does something I'll make her regret!!"  </P>

<P>"Have these extreme plans you never think through!"  </P>

<P>"I have thought this through Conner! I've thought of nothing since I came off the phone to you yesterday!!"  </P>

<P>He sighed in defeat "Okay ... where are you now?"  </P>

<P>"At the roundabout that leads to Lutterworth, Enderby, Whetstone and Narborough!"  </P>

<P>"HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET THERE???"  </P>

<P>"Conner, I'm not going to tell you if you're just going to explode!!"  </P>

<P>He drew in a long breath and let it out slowly "Okay, how did you get there?"  </P>

<P>"Dad's motorbike!" I heard him curse loudly then a muffled scream, which kind of gave away he was yelling at the pillow!!  </P>

<P>After 5 minutes he'd calmed down and spoke again.  </P>

<P>"Right come to my house and I'll meet you downstairs!"  </P>

<P>"You're not going to stop me---" He'd hung up. "Well crap ... I'm in big trouble!"</P>
